Had a problem that wasn't really their problem, but were more than happy to work with me to find a solution. Great people!

Not only is the Butler County Courthouse presented well, the street and adjacent buildings with government and commercial business look nice too. If you are in Morgantown and have some time, go check out this area.

My experience at the Morgantown Circuit Court was surprisingly pleasant. The staff was super friendly and went above and beyond to assist me in registering my car and obtaining a new license plate. Efficient service with a smile – definitely a positive encounter with the people at this location.
